How a Other Territory GSTIN is put together
The number opens with 97 for Other Territory, followed by the taxpayer's ten-character PAN, a digit or letter for how many registrations that PAN holds in Other Territory, the default letter Z, and a checksum character. A full breakdown is on the GSTIN format page.
We check the pattern and checksum before running a lookup, so a mistyped Other Territory GSTIN is caught instantly. Valid numbers go through to a live registration lookup that reports whether the registration is active, cancelled or suspended — see GST status check.
We do not publish lists of Other Territory taxpayers or their GSTINs. Search a specific number you already hold, such as one printed on an invoice.
